So I asked my wife what she was reading a week or so ago.

It was the first Twilight book.

Shortly afterwards, she expressed an interest in watching the movie.

Seeing a chance to find some common ground w.r.t. cinema, I picked up a copy of the book and read it.........so we could enjoy the movie together.

My first impression was that this book was written by a fifteen year old. Terrible...........and I mean TERRIBLE literary skills. But the story was interesting enough to draw me in (and I read the other books in succession with the intent of watching the other movie.....and movies as they are released).

Watched to movie last night.

Not a bad interpretation; but I don't think it would have held my interest if I had not had read the story first.

Overall though..........."Twilight" had been a nice distraction from some of the headier stuff that I am inclined to keep myself busy reading.

translation: Andytv can now relate to teenage girls.

Andy you gotta read Abraham Linclon : Vampire Hunter.

Really good and different

I read the whole series. It was kinda gay, but a good read.

I cant seem to get into the movies. That kid is just so weird looking.

Twilight is for little girls, try watching True blood at least there's alot of naked chicks in it.

^ +1

I read them all one weekend because my young daughter wanted to read them and I'd heard they weren't suitable. I didn't think it was anything worse than what's on TV so I let her read them. Another weekend I won't get back just like the time Russ and Shawn visited Phoenix and had their way with that cactus just off of Happy Valley Road.

Poor cactus.

Btw, the books suck, the movies suck even worse,

I had no interest in reading those books. Ya want vampires? Read Anne Rice. Good writing skills.

I did see the 2 movies, though. Got 'em from netflix.

Meh. I wouldn't watch them a 2nd time.

So you understood the movie.

That's a refreshing chamnge...... dumbasssssssss.

Andy,

Which one of the guys do you think is hotter?

Team Jacob or Team Edward?

^At least he can read....knucklehead.

I agree the Anne Rice vampire novels were a great read.

11 for 9.

Vampires Suck

Andy, you are flirting with having to turn in your man-card.

I recommend you purge that teeny-bopper Twilight from your brain with a little Vince Flynn. If not, Mitch Rapp might come for you...

This could be the gayest thread ever.

You all should be ashamed of yourselves for even thinking of reading that crap.

Unless you are a teenage girl, then I guess you're off the hook. Somehow I doubt we have many teenage girls here.

Dumbest. Vampire. Movie. EVAR.

They can feed on humans, but they don't. They can go outside in the daytime if it's cloudy...but if they get caught in the sunlight they...they...SPARKLE!

OMG!!!!

None of the tension, none of the conventions of vampire movies over the years. What is to stop these vampires from just taking over the world? They just don't want to. Well, golly gee, isn't that nice?

Stupid movie. I couldn't even take it seriously after about the halfway point. I just looked for more stupid chit to mock.

Besides Jack.

yeah, great books for teaching teen girls to adore pasty, stalker guys

wooohoo

lol

And teaching them to love sparkly fairies.
